Happy Birthday Lana Del Rey!
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger is so not true. You know what makes you stronger? When people treat you and your art with dignity.
IDOC
People say stay away from you
& I tell them to fuck off
Let them talk & let them judge
I’m a fool for your love & irs just the two of us
Take a chance roll the dice,
Life ain’t fair & love don’t play nice
But me and you, you & I
As long as I got your heart, you can have mine
Space & distance don’t factor in
And I forgot about all the time you gotta spend
Away from me — locks & bars & keys
Miles apart but I still know your heartbeat
Think of me instead of the concrete
Go to sleep, sweet dreams
And when the sun comes up again, you’ll be one day closer to me

Red Words
the night begins after the play
the love of my life only inches away
but then i look down and it all fades to grey
too small for others to see
a small reminder just for me
that i am only meant to bleed
A taste of iron and salt and lead
the viscous words lettered in red
i look for meaning in as i bled
new words form as i carve across
new meanings shimmer through like gloss
but if i told her, she’d feel such loss
i know i should not but why pretend
i know if i stopped i’d just start again
so i’ll just keep carving till i reach the end
skin to flesh, meat to bone
against myself this blade i hone
that warmest pain may be my own
my flesh and bone already torn
my heart has been forever worn
now all i seem to feel is forlorn
i look away, theres nothing to see
show skin to keep suspicions from me
this must be how it’s meant to be
I still don’t think I quite understand what rap is…
Me: “So, the rhyming breakdowns by TV on the Radio are rap, right?”
World: “Errr. Not really…”
Me: “I guess that would mean that the enunciated quick words of the Arctic Monkeys at times definitely aren’t either…”
World: “That is a correct deduction.”
I constantly find myself asking “Wait, is THIS rap?”
The answer is normally no.
